This seems to be my experience of people I know who've had either. I had Pfizer - first shot - really only a sore arm for 2 days starting about 8 hours later. Second shot, as above but an all over body ache akin to being hungover, and a slight fever on day 2. All back to normal apart from the sore arm on day 3.
Grateful to be vaccinated as I sure as hell don't want covid (and I'm at the southern end of the <50 category), and i'm keen to life to get back to normal asap...
